Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the chicken is resting, slice the whole grain sandwich buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, grilled chicken, cheddar cheese, tomato slices, red onion, and a drizzle of mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately with your favorite side.
